Activists belonging to Animal Rescuers, a voluntary organisation, rescued nine parakeets that were kept for sale here in cages under inhumane conditions.
P. Balakumar, member of Animal Rescuers, said the birds were found in possession of a woman near Old Bus Stand for sale on Saturday evening.
“The primary feathers of the bird were cut and beaks of some birds too were cut,” he added.
Warned
The woman was let off with warning by the Forest Department officials who arrived at the spot.
“The same woman has been caught for parakeet sale a few years ago too,” Mr. Balakumar said.
